This week, our In Focus section comes to us from Principal Elaine Peters (HMA– Florida), who reviews the recent re-procurement by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) of its Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC) health and dental plans. The SMMC program currently has two key program components: Long-Term Care (LTC) and Managed Medical Assistance (MMA). The new SMMC program changes the two components to: Integrated MMA and LTC and Dental. The 2016 Legislature “carved out” dental services from MMA plans and new dental plans will be responsible for providing dental services to eligible members.
